Business Central 2024 wave 1 (BC24): Tooltips on table fields (ToolTip Property & ToolTipML Property)

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC24) is available. Learn more: Link.

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.

In this post, I would like to talk about the tooltip property on table fields. This is not yet documented in the Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC24) release plan. But it is mentioned in AL Language extension changelog Version 13.0

Tooltips on table fields:

Introduced the tooltip property on table fields, which like the caption will be applied on page controls that reference the table field. This includes a code action that helps with moving the tooltip from page controls to table fields or cleans them up from the page in case of duplicates.

As you might know, we can hover over a field to read a short description. For example,

Great, give it a try!!!😁
